Chapter 509 The Study on Runes 2
In Lenny's former world, it was expected for an assassin to have incredible knowledge about their weapons.
In fact, many of them went as far as acquiring some blacksmithing Knowledge just to create their weapons according to their taste.
This was true not just for assassins, but also in some countries where people were allowed to carry firearms.
Many would customize their weapons according to their size, weight, balance, etcetera. Just to have a good advantage on the battlefield.
Lenny was also such a person. A weapon's length and even the grooves of its edges were all calculated and measured with precision and attention to detail for every strike and in many cases, created to maximize the use of certain fighting techniques.
Whether it were guns or blades, it was all the same thing. There were even many that crafted weapons specifically for targets.
After taking time to study a target's diet, body structure, muscle density, and even skin texture, weapons would be crafted specifically for the target.
It was the reason why for many, assassination could be as easy as breathing.
Striking the opponent with one hit, delivering a blow that would immediately kill or kill in mere seconds.
For those who had dived deep into this 'holy' art, delivering death was a primary nature.
However, because of how things have been so far, Lenny had been flowing with the tide.
Using whatsoever he could lay his hands on just to fight and deliver maximum damage.
This was the reason why all he did was shop random weapons from the Satan System.
But the possibility that he could actually craft his own weapons was a new world that he definitely wanted to explore.
Lenny's mind was already an incredible one from the start. Adding the fact that an increase in power also came with improved cognitive ability, it was safe to say that Lenny was smart enough to finish a big library of cyclopedias in only a week.
However, he wanted a proper understanding of the use of runes so he studied one book for two days straight.
Ensuring he did not miss any details, even using the Satan system to take down necessary notes.
All the while, the Core was still forming within his soul.
this meant that he could not move too much.
From Lenny's findings, Runes were the foundational language of the world.
With runes, the state of matter could even be bent or enhanced.
Lenny was surprised to see that the theories surrounding runes were similar to theories of the atom and its formation made by nucleus, protons, neutrons, and protons.
In fact, if the physicists of his previous world could see these theories and apply them, then the veil before their eyes that had obstructed them from uncovering the many possible combinations of different elements would instantly clear up.
It was in no time did Lenny find himself getting lost in them.
Runes were in type and could be used based on the power capability of the individual. There were over a hundred different types of runes. It was like discovering and memorizing the periodic table all over again.
All many of them, Lenny used a rule of Learning in his former life that allowed him to maximize his learning capability.
This was known as the 20/80 Rule. (Author's note: You guys should check out this rule. It's very useful)
This was acquiring twenty percent of knowledge of a particular field that allowed the ease of understanding the other eighty percent of it.
After all, he could always explore more at a later time.
There were Basic Runes: These runes operated Matter that could be observed around. Whether it was the earth, the sky, water, fire, and basically any none living thing that could been seen with the physical eye.
Next, are Living Runes: These runes exist in life. They are runes that exist in every living thing. They operated the rule of survival, functioning in pushing the existence of life.
Death runes: This were an entire opposite of Living Runes, being birth only after the creature had lost life. These runes could not be found unless it was once living.
Soul or Spirit runes: These runes were only found in the Ethereal Plane and Purgatory that existed in the In-between just before the Above.
Dimensional Runes Or Spatial Runes: These runes were found in between the fabric of space, encompassing worlds and separating them. Another use for them would be opening or breaking the veil between two worlds. An example would be portals between Pocket Spaces and major Planes, or the portal that separated The Imperilment and the Eighth Earth.
Witches and Magi used this kind of runes a lot.
Contract Runes: These were very self explanatory. They existed to bind both matter and other Runes together. n//o)/v).e--l)(b//1--n
They were a lot more, some of them were even very unique to certain planes and devoured other Runes for their existence. Such as the Runes of the Nether Realm. There were some others in charge of governing other runes. An example of this would be Cosmic Runes.
But Lenny was still very far away from being able to control such a rune.
Reading even further, he discovered that they were some runes that had existed for so long with so much power that they had actually developed a consciousness of their own.
Basically, it meant that they were alive. Such runes could even possess their own souls.
However, they were very very rare.
They were so rare that in the millions of years of Creation, only three had ever been seen.
The records had it that two of them participated in the battle in the heavens. One fought for The Arch Angel Michael and the other fought for none other than Lenny's mentor, Lucifer Morningstar.
Thinking these far, a possibility came to Lenny's mind. After all, they were sections of the Satan system that were currently locked to him. Especially some of them that contained some obviously terrifying creatures.
At this point, Lenny suddenly got an alert from the Satan System.
